Each player provided interesting insight.

For instance on the point of G'Town's neophyte players - Jamarko Pickett, Antwan Walker and Chris Sodom - Mulmore noted "My teammates, they are really good freshman. We’re looking forward to them coming in and not playing like freshmen, we’re looking forward to them taking big roles this year".

Mosely concurred, saying "We told them when it’s time, we need them not be freshman; come in mature, come in ready to play".
